Finding Intercepts from a Linear Equation
In this lesson, the instructor shows how to find the x and y intercept of a linear equation both algebraically and graphically. By plugging in y equals 0 and x equals 0, you can easily find these intercepts. It is important to understand that the y-intercept occurs when x equals 0, and the x-intercept occurs when y equals 0. The instructor demonstrates how to graph these intercepts and connect them to form a line.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.

Staff Review
This lesson teaches how to find the x intercept and the y intercept of a line from an equation. Then, it shows how to graph the line that the equation represents. The lesson also has a brief review of how to label points in the xy plane with an ordered pair.
